Where would I be able to find the linkage from the booster to the brake pedal?  Haven't had any luck on Craigslist or ebay.  Would Chrysler have it?  Need everything between the booster eyelet and the pedal...

I'm broadening my search.  What years are compatible?  I need everything between the booster eyelet and the pedal....  Linkage, sleeve, and eyelet to the pedal...

I've got one out of a '74 Challenger. Not sure of compatibility.

Can anyone verify if that is compatible?  I forgot to mention, but as in my avatar, I have a 68 Charger.  Thanks!

The 74 E body one will not work.

I got mine from Tony's Parts. The white bushings are still available from the dealer. Mopar part # 2467770

I don't think that dogleg has ever been reproduced.  It was used on quite a few Mopar products in the 66-70 timeframe.  They are not really scarce and can be found by scouring junkyards.  As has been stated, the plastic bushing that goes in the dogleg is still available from Chrysler.

I'll give that a shot.  Most the local wrecking yards "rotate" in newer vehicles.  older parts are hard to come by.

Tony wanted $85

I just found the old booster that came with the car when I bought it TWO years ago!  I completely forgot I had it!   (Has it already been that long)

So, The bell crank linkage was on it!  And a metal plate.  Hows that work?  Just goes between the booster and firewall when the booster is mounted?

I had already installed the new booster before I realized I needed the bellcrank, so I have to pull it back out; since it needs to be attached to the booster before the booster is mounted.  (The wonderful things I learn here!)

If your old booster was the Bendix 8 inch dual diaphram show in the illustration above you need to hold on to it.  they are scarce and not available.  They can be rebuilt by Prior Brake in Texas for approx $100.

Are the metal bushings for the linkage available?  Mine is rusted to the bolt, and I can't get it appart.

I've never seen them for sale.  You could probably make them.  The plastic bushings are still available from Chrysler.
